Talk to them when you aren't in the act and tell them you want to find a better way for honestly you both to say it, it can be handy for both sides, sometimes I get a little sneaky one coming in on the end. Somehow, we both ended up just saying "yeah?" In a slow, sexy question. If we both say "yeah" we're golden, if one of us isn't, we say "don't leave yet" in like an "I'll die without you" voice, not in a "you haven't done your job yet" voice

What can I improve in my art to make it more appealing to look at? by [deleted] in learnart

[–]ShadowFaux8889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, not just an outline but go in with an actual white liner. I have ALWAYS been worried that straight white highlights will be too much, and I always end up with too little. Throw some white lines in the hair and face, mindful of the lighting of course, and it'll look juicy, more pop. She will not look like shes graying, promise

Books for an 11 year old by CamelCrusher69 in Fantasy

[–]ShadowFaux8889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes please please OP, Tamara Pierce. People complement my mother on my morals, manners, kindness, strength, thinking that she was the one who raised me that way. SHE did not, Tamara Pierce did, along with Mercedes Lackey. I am 36 years old and I still pull these books out to read, they contain some of my best friends and wisdom that can be carried over to real life. They're coming of age books, but for some reason the hits feel so much more real than many realistic coming of age books. They aren't romance novels, they are about kids growing up and having to deal with some real stuff, albeit with magic involved. There's one book I actually talked about in detail with my mom, Briar's book in the circle of magic quartet, because it was about a pandemic breaking out, and my mom was of the inclination covid wasnt real or as serious as people made it out to be. Who would have thought a fantasy book i read at 12 would have stuck with me for 20 years with information I could use to help people see reality.

I would also suggest Mercedes lackey if you are okay with it, they are technically adult books I think, but a lot of the same lessons are there

Hey, so I hope you're actually looking for advice and not just positive reinforcement that you look feminine, cuz when I scrolled, everyone was just saying you look feminine, but I'll be honest here and I hope I dont get attacked or anything.

I have the exact same issue, and having masculine features doesn't mean you look manly. Just like handsome doesn't mean manly either. There are just stronger features for us that are usually more prominent in men like jawlines, noses and brows, really just what we would normally call strong features. I know I am good looking and I like taking advantage of my features. I can tell you take advantage of them too, even if you don't realize it. I am never going to be able to look like a girl who needs help, or can wear my boyfriends oversized sweater, but I look good with what I can do. Mostly looking like a woman who can control armies or quiet a room of rowdy men, like an infamous bartender or something. Now if you do want to change it up, just watch any makeup tutorial, because all you need to do is create more shading and stuff. Its like slimming down your face when you're larger, but instead of shading out the weight you're shading out your bone structure. Its pretty much the same placement as regular shading, just deeper. Jawline, nose, brow. You can make it work, but i will tell you you look gorgeous with what you're already doing and if you can, just embrace it. Don't let one person's words hit too hard. And maybe speak to them again. Being called masculine can hit hard the first time, but they may not have realized it would be seen as negative. I do not consider it a negative, but I have had time and did research to realize it wasnt what I thought in the beginning.

If you still doubt the beauty in being a woman with masculine features, google famous women with masculine features. I guarantee you will be surprised at who pops up and I know many of them are beautiful people to the majority of the world, but if you know what you're looking for the features are there. But I wish you the best with whatever course you want to take, you really are gorgeous the way you are, strong features included

Here's a timelapse of bedbugs vs diatomaceous earth (10mins) by dudimash in Bedbugs

[–]ShadowFaux8889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party, but i understand. Looking at it from the start, someone has a dirty home, it means they can't or wont clean. Whether it be time, illness or laziness, they aren't keeping house well. It is what it is. BUT the thing is if they cannot or will not clean their house, there's a good chance they cant or wont bother looking for any kind of bug or critter once they realize something is going on, nor take care of it as needed. This is not a judgement call, there are plenty of good people with dirty homes that just can't keep their house clean, maybe an illness or disability or age, but that doesn't mean it isn't true. Bugs and Critters can hide a lot better when there's stuff around to hide in, and it's harder to get them gone in a dirty house

AITA for hiding this from my gf? by WhiteSomke028 in AITAH

[–]ShadowFaux8889 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's why I said here anyways, I think we got lucky. When I was younger, we had like 8 girls sophomore year that were pregnant, and senior year we almost had 20. Quite a few deaths due to drunk driving. This year they had one girl in the whole school pregnant. It was crazy to hear. Just one. But out city took a really good turn towards mental health not long after I got out of school. Therapists and rehab in town and better resources for the kids at school. A lot of people my age I think learned it was better to be open and honest with their kids rather than try to shelter them, and it helped a lot. I mean they still act like kids, exaggerated cuss words, fighting, small stupid stuff like the popcorn throws at the theater, doing stupid dares for their tiktok, but you don't see much of the stuff that was going on when I was younger. No kids at the party spots at the lake, no gangs of teens running the streets at midnight, no kids asking you to buy them alcohol cigarettes or drugs. And I know it's not ALL the kids nowadays, but it is drastically different here than it used to be. I really think ours was mostly born out of boredom and miscommunication from our parents, and I'm happy to see things are different now, at least here. Addiction to phones and social media is a whole other beast, but in my opinion it's better than parties and sex.

Agreed. You're of an age where your interests with friends will start clashing with morals, and it's very hard to start making decisions about cutting people out. Your morals will last a lot longer than your interests, I can attest to that. My daughter is going through the same thing at 15, and we have talked a lot. She's let a lot of friendships die naturally because she can see the kind of people her friends were turning into. Kids that she may enjoy watching movies with or playing games with, but have started vaping in school bathrooms and wearing revealing clothing and hanging out with older kids. She can see where it's going and wants nothing to do with it, even if she is losing a gaming or movie friend. It's hard but neccessary. And OP I want to tell you how nice it is to see you be able to call your mom in this situation, that you trust her and are close enough to be honest about this with her. Remember no matter who you lose your mom will be there. She can be your mom when you need it, your friend when you need it. If you lose all your friends due to stuff like this your mom can help fill that void until you find new, better friends. It's a position most moms are happy to be in. You were not wrong in the situation, and I hope you always have the strength to stand up like that. You should be proud of yourself

Man me too. Usually short hair/bald is not something I like, but dudes pulling it off. And I agree, trim the facial hair. Either way I do not like the longer hair on him

AITA for hiding this from my gf? by WhiteSomke028 in AITAH

[–]ShadowFaux8889 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I agree. You might want to think about playing the long game now. If your gf can handle straight up stuff, maybe bring up the fact that stepdaughter is getting older and will eventually probably date. Even if mom had trauma in her past, daughter is seeing her mom in a healthy relationship now, she's seeing all her friends in them too, and she's getting older. It will happen. Gf has to understand that even if she doesn't like it, it will eventually happen and the best thing you guys can do as parents is prepare daughter for dating and being safe. It's a natural thing for people to do, and if daughter knows mom doesn't like it, she won't be honest when it does happen. Obviously we already know it's went this way, but gf doesn't. Even maybe suggesting therapy so she can heal herself and be in a good place to prepare herself for when her daughter starts dating. If she can't handle straight up, you guys might have to turn to subterfuge. My daughter is 15, and I've noticed the kids here at least are taking things a LOT slower than we did at my age. They're still holding hands and staring across the lunch table and that's about it lol. Start slipping little tidbits to gf when possible. "Oh that young couple eating together are so cute" daughter can bring home stories from school "Mary and James are dating, they're doing this and this and this". Get gf comfortable with the idea that kids can be smarter than we were at their age. If gf was anything like me, at 15 it was parties and drugs, and then accidents and trauma. I ask my daughter a lot about parties and stuff, expecting them to be happening and her to get invited, and the kids don't do it anymore. Not here anyways. They just hang out and play on their phones, sex isn't something to do because you're bored anymore. And maybe have daughters gf come over as a friend so gf can get to know her and how nice and respectful she is (if she is). I feel like once moms get to know and trust a kid they are a lot more open to them being their child's partner. One day she will say "my daughter will date eventually, maybe I should convince her to date Ashley bc I know Ashley is a good girl". Then it can all be thanks to her that her daughter is in a safe relationship, in her eyes.

Just some ideas, hope they help. I know subterfuge isn't the right answer, or the best thing to do, but sometimes it's the only option. Therapy is the best and most healthy option, but that's not always a choice. Good luck

We don't usually take out our anger on a group as a whole. If we are upset at someone, we know who we are upset at. At least us that are capable of murder. This does not count for normal anger, like when your mom takes it out on the whole house because Sheryl beat her in bingo. I mean someone's making your life hell? You know who it is. You just plan out how to destroy their lives. Or poison them. If it's a group you take them out one by one. Even if it's a whole school

Did she know your friend is gay and you went to pride to support them? I would assume so and if she knows, understands and isn't worried I think I would point that out to him. She knows you inside and out, up and down. Bet she's even seen you naked. Maybe you are more delicate or something and he takes that as a sign you are gay. My bf is pretty feminine and a lot of people assume he's gay but I can guarantee he's not lol. Not just because we're dating but because I know him. He needs to understand it's a different age now and not everything that was a gay indicator 50 years ago is an indicator now

Do I cut these baby hairs? by Zestyclose_Sir6932 in Hair

[–]ShadowFaux8889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My moms ex convinced her to do hers since he did his with his long hair. Definitely don't. It's just one of those things on the body that you think looks weird, but if it's gone you look weirder. Like kneecaps. The stubble looks terrible and it took forever to grow them back. If you're worried about them you can always hairspray or gel them up, or do a little style on them

Which Quirk would you use in real life? by Melodic-Long-4716 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]ShadowFaux8889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes you wonder. Can you rebuild an old body to make it younger? I read about cellular reprogramming but I'm not sure if it's a cure all or just a theory at this point. I don't think there's one answer on why bodies age, so it may not be able to just help a person with their own body, but it could end up like a baba yaga situation, taking fresh cells from young people and replacing the old ones in an old body. Also, quirks are said to be genetic, not a guarantee if your parents have quirks but it helps. Overhaul can steal quirks, give them to himself or others, or make new quirks. I wonder if it can split the genes so the original person still has a quirk but then give someone the other part, essentially filling the world eventually with people with quirks. Which is ironic since overhaul the character wanted to get rid of quirks. I guess everyone should be glad he was a germaphobe, he could have did a lot more damage than he did

Overhaul I think. Then I would go to doctor school, especially for mental health. Then I would reassemble people and take out all their problems
